REGARDING THE $50 DUES INCREASE FROM $250 LAST YEAR
TO $300 THIS YEAR
Troop Dues can be broken down into these categories: National Registration Fee, Scouts Life Magazine, Scout Insurance and Operating Costs for the Troop. The National Membership Fee is the amount Troop 58 has to pay BSA National every year for every registered member (scouts, adults, merit badge counselors, etc..).
New starting in August 2024, every registered scouter in Mecklenburg Countil Council will be charged an additional $50 each. This fee goes towards the operating cost of the council and all the other properties across sthe council like Belk Scout Reservation and Camp Grimes.
The troop operating costs have remained the same. Those costs include things like patches, web sites fees, trailer insurance, etc. In naddition we pay for storage of the troop trailers which is approxiamtely $1,600 annually.
